EXHIBIT G WATER INFORMATION <br /> Froze Creek, a west flowing tributary to Moss Gulch%Z mile west of the permit area, is located north of <br /> the northern permit boundary line. The closest proximity from permit boundary to Froze Creek is <br /> 100'along the mid-region of the permit area. A 1977 FEMA Flood Hazard Boundary Map shows Froze <br /> Creek as well as Moss Gulch within the designated area of flood hazard potential. At this location, <br /> flood hazard reflects flash flood conditions that may occur during intense rain events. The entire <br /> reach of Froze Creek from east to west is open relatively flat terrain with minimum restriction of the <br /> flow of a flood event. Froze Creek reflects a relatively shallow channel profile and low frequency <br /> meander across its west gradient path to Moss Gulch. It is unlikely that the mine operation will have <br /> any impact on Froze Creek water quality or quantity. A flash flood event initiated upstream of Froze <br /> Creek along the permit boundary is more than likely to be mitigated to some degree by topography of <br /> the relatively flat ground dispersing the energy of the once contained channel. <br /> Ground water incursion at 100'from surface was reported (land owner) in a hand dug well located <br /> along Froze Creek north of the permit area. Due to planned mining depths of no more than 20'from <br /> the surface, no interface with groundwater is anticipated in this operation. <br /> No water use from this property is planned for mining purposes. Any water necessary for dust control <br /> during crushing and screening operations will be transported to the site from Westcliffe or other local <br /> sources. <br /> 9 <br />
